I heard that the Navy Education is not worth it..but then again I am different, I want to serve in the Navy but at the same time I want to get my degree as fast as possible while in the Navy. Since I would be based in a carrier there wont be any instructors, i think the classes are online. CLEP or Online classes as credits? ALso bootcamp and A technical school is also considered as college credits? Does my AP classes count as college credit too? Anyways I am excited in joining the Navy starting at the bottom (E1) and work my way to the top and my rating is exciting too at least for me Electronics Technician. So I am going to start earning a degree for that. Anyways I applied for NROTC but I found out that there are no benefits until you graduate and alot can happen in 3-4 years in college also I want to gain the respect and experience among my seamates...work my way to the top from the bottom and I need to know NAvy Education programs and if it worked!

I enlisted in the Navy in 1973 in the Nuclear Propulsion Program. I received Machinist Mate "A" School training and Nuclear Power School and Prototype training. I then went to a carrier for the rest of my 6 year enlistment.
I then went to Penn State University and received my BS in Nuclear Engineering. They accepted my Naval training and experience awarding me 12 credits.

Colleges and Universities gives credit to some military education. On-line classes on board a ship can also be good because you can work at your own pace, since sea duty is very hectic. Once you are on shore duty, bases have colleges that offer BS or BA degrees and the schedules are convenient for military personnel.
